The Young Protectors: Engaging The Enemy Chapter One—Page 40

(I have to say, I love the how 3D that art feels in the first panel. Something about that gun on the right feels like it’s leaping out the page at me. As someone who doesn’t see much 3D in real life (long story), I think Adam and Vero did an amazing job with this page. 🙂 )

And speaking of art, we have new Fan Art from Frenchie — a rather sexy moment between Kyle and Duncan. You should definitely check it out.

Special thanks go out to long-time supporters Ashley A. (who made their third generous donation to The Young Protectors!), Victor R. (who made their fourth generous donation to The Young Protectors!), Loraine L. (who made their fifth generous donation to The Young Protectors!) & Lisa G. (who made their ninth generous donation to The Young Protectors!) and a warm welcome and grateful bow go out to new supporters Angharad L., Tiffany M., David N., Kenneth D., Charles M., Courtney W. & Jordan H. for their generous donations over the last few days!

Big hugs go out to new friend of The Young Protectors Robert B. and also to long-time friend Daniel N. for their super-generous $25 donations! (And this makes Daniel’s twenty-first (!!) super-generous donation to this comic! Wow!)

Superhero-strength hugs go out to long-time super-friends Jake S. & James A. for their amazingly generous $50 donations! (And this makes both Jake’s and James’s fourth amazingly generous donations! Thank you so much, Jake and James!)

Thank you all so much for your support! I’m right now working on future The Young Protectors scripts and your incredible generosity has been a huge, huge morale boost. Thank you!

So! Kyle’s almost completely naked and he’s got a missile headed his way. Can this possibly end well? Tune in this Saturday to find out!

Hope to see you there!

Finally the pants are OFF! But what is Captain Douchebag talking about? Turn himself in for what, dating? I don’t think dating is illegal in their world, even if it is with a known supervillian!

Yay! A nearly naked Kyle! Now you better run before you become a splattered Kyle! I am so loving the action; it’s been a while since I read a fun, blammo-style comic with awesome action sequences, with just enough beefcake (well, maybe in Kyle’s case, it’s still closer to veal?) to rouse my excitement in more ways than one. ;-P Have fun at Ahn!-Con! I have yet to visit the heartland, so to speak, so now I have a reason to go when the opportunity (i.e., cash!) presents itself. 🙂

No, actually I’m not even sorry to say it since it’s not something to even suggest – no matter how much you might say it in fun. I’ve had friends raped after been giving roofies or other drugs unknowingly.

Shrug. Having a foot-in-mouth sorta while.

I must say, a naked shot from that angle without showing junk is quite a feat. I don’t know whether to congratulate you or curse you a little. 😉

I’d also like to remind our readers that this chapter is to up the stakes with annihilator and Kyle and that dust that turned him invisible is the upgrade. so obviously I might be spoiling this with my assumption but I think it will wear off at the most inappropriate moment possible.

SleepingDragon

Obviously, but personally I’m more waiting for the moment that Platinum Priestess comes to pick them up and Kyle is either wearing some sort of complimentary bathrobe or just “covering the goods” with his hands or something. Oh she’s going to have a field day with this.

White undies are ugly as hell, I’m glad he got rid of them :3 And gee I’m really tired of the two weapon fixated douches! I hope Ani kicks their butts big time soon! And ohh I like how smooth Kyle’s skin is when he is invisible. Look really smooth! And I’m really curious how you will cover up his man parts from now on :3 And I just relaised, that he will be naked when that powder stuff effect goes out… hopefully he will be naked in Ani’s presence… ohh that would be epic!

I suspect rather a lot of artfully tossed flowers in this upcoming explosion. It will be fun to see everyone go from “poor flowers! what a mean man!” to “DAMN YOU GERBERA DAISY WHAT HAVE YOU EVER DONE FOR US”

Monica

Or will we see a lot of “cleaver” placed object, like in Austin Powers? 😀

Whoelsetherealone

Seriously ?!! The Rocket ? Obviously someone does get the meaning of subtlety…

Let’s just hope the next page doesn’t start off with a cute flying superhero wearing nothing but a sock XD

Wayne Lunkwitz

Limp I suppose it would depend on _where_ he is wearing the sock….yes I ama perv *grinz*

LimpBiskit

LOL I dunno, dude… Considering the situation and his relative height from the ground I wonder if he has the metaphorical balls to jump out and say “HERE BE MUH GENITALS.” Because floating sock. Though it would be funny, it would also give ol’ Hunter a really, really unfortunate target, no? From what I hear, cotton does very little in the way of rocket protection. *Ba-dum-tsh*

Wayne Lunkwitz

Thanks Biskit….been a long rough day here and this was just what I needed to make me chuckle.

It is, unless you have faulty eyes like I do and see everything flat. Imagine seeing the world around you the way you see it on tv – no sense of depth at all. That’s how it looks like for people like me. You can get no driving license, have problems with assessing distance, etc.

Yep: same problem here. I don’t have completely flat vision, but driving is right out.

Sorry for my ignorance. Someone made a similar comment as Alex’s to me and she just meant that she doesn’t watch 3D movies…

TravelerOfWebcomics

Rather rare condition, ’tis sort of interesting to hear of someone who has it… on a slightly related note, dogs cannot perceive flat images! Sort of like the opposite condition. This does of course mean that your dog isn’t REALLY watching TV…

Alex, I really like the clever and thoughtful way that you present a balance of story-line, twists potential and drama/action in each page. A comic book in your hands provides a quick, smooth delivery of context… but your skill lies in the fact that you have to deal with a page at a time – with a longer time between pages. Great job! =3 hopefully that Blasted Sock [you’re sweatin’ me!! *Drool*] doesn’t really become a Blasted Sock [BOOM!]! .. Hurry Saturday, HURRY!!!!

So I go to my bookmarked links to check on my comics… I click on The Young Protectors, like I do more than twice a week (lol) and I get redirected to a search engine, page yaoi911 not found… minor FREAK out OMG…. after some investigation, some deep breathing, and well it seems that I have no idea what happened. I read a different comic and then tried the bookmarked link again here and it worked fine. WHEW #wipesbrow I don’t think I would like it much without Alex’s gloriously, devilishly, twisted mind giving me a twice weekly escape from reality…. No, I wouldn’t like that much at all. <3 🙂

ooooooh my… are we gonna see some of Kyle’s “hot body”? lol imsorry (imnotsorry) great, now i wanna draw him like that… and now i wish i had his powers… and now i wish i was in the same situation as him coz what’s more fun than being invisible and running from deadly bullets and missles in a country half the globe from home?

Screaming_Angel

Kyle is quite the tease, undressing so slowly like that! Hopefully he’ll escape being blasted into little invisible bits! Really enjoying this comic so far guys, has me hooked! Can’t wait til it’s done so I can go back and read it from the beginning!

HOW DID I CATCH UP THIS QUICKLY NO how did this happeeeennnnnnn /rolls around I just want to buy a physical copy of this and it will be all written and drawn and colored and published and I will never have to wait agaiiinnnnnn Thank you again for making comics, you’re lovely. I will be here often.
